Meeting my classmates :)

A huge part of the reason I wanted to study abroad was to meet people from all over the world. I believed that would expose me to different cultures and also make me aware of how diverse our World is. Also I know very much that I will end up working with an International organisation and my job will include a lot of travelling to different parts of the World so schooling with different people from all parts of the world is definitely a step in the right direction.

Cultural Shock...Pedestrians own the road

So I am going to start a cultural shock series about things that are done differently in Germany. The very first thing I noticed was about the roads...

Living Expenses...Arrghhh

The biggest expenditures will be your living expenses. Nothing is free in Germany. You even pay to use the washroom. And the washing machine at your apartment.

Free Tuition?

I have received a few emails from blog readers asking about how the free tuition works in Germany. Let me quickly outline it

Email me for enquiries

Hey guys,

I have been receiving quite a lot emails from you guys...A lot of you have so many questions and I try to respond as promptly as I can. But please keep in mind that as classes has started, I may see your email and make a mental note to respond but may end of forgetting
.

Also since I receive lots of emails, and I have limited time responding to everyone, I would prefer if the questions are straight to the point and specific.

Like if you send me an email saying 'I need your help', I would respond asking you the exact type of help you need. To save time, its better to tell me what you exact needs are and If I can be of help I will let you know...

It will be helpful for both of us if you also read previous posts as I've already talked about some issues. Like I mentioned earlier I have very little free time during the day.

Some general questions can be left as comments and I will respond to it as well. That way others can see the answer too.

Difficulties in the School/Visa application process or personal questions should be sent via email.

My email address is foreignstudentingermany@gmail.com

Looking forward to hearing from you!

My almost first month in Germany

Hi Guys,

It has almost been a month since I got to Germany and I know it has been a while since I updated the blog...I have been crazy busy. Between registering at the city, school and sorting out accommodation issues, there has been so much to do and so little time!

My Life in Siegen

Siegen

My school is located in a meduim sized town called Siegen. Yeah I am sure you havent heard of it.

In Germany now :)

Hi Guys,

Sorry I havent updated the blog in a while. Between having to resign from work and preparing for my trip I was super busy.

I had booked a ticket with Ethiopian Airlines as far back as August even without my Visa (talk about faith), so after I was called to pick up my Visa all I had to do was wait for my scheduled flight date.
